CSS1 does not provide a way to directly set the size/position of the
list marker. A 'list-item' element is block-level and is formatted
like 'block' elemements with the addition of a list marker. The CSS1
specification includes the keywords 'inside' and 'outside', but does
not describe in detail how the list-item markers are to be formatted.
You are right in pointing out this as a limitation -- one that we hope
to address in the next round. Meanwhile, I think we should not try to
change CSS1, but rather strengthen it by publishing test documents.
